The USCCA has been catching some heat lately, but is it warranted? Is there another side to the story?
In this episode, we take a deep dive into the United States Concealed Carry Association (USCCA), addressing recent controversies and exploring the broader implications of their mission. Joined by Todd Cowett, from Delta Defense, a service provider for the USCCA.
We discuss the organization's role in providing legal and training support for responsible gun owners while addressing criticisms and misunderstandings about their operations.

We also examine recent cases that have drawn public attention, separating fact from fiction, and discussing the practical lessons these incidents offer for concealed carriers and personal defense advocates. Whether you're a current USCCA member, considering membership, or just interested in the complexities of firearm self-defense in America, this episode delivers valuable insights for anyone navigating this critical and often misunderstood subject.

An important note, Todd is not speaking in his official capacity on behalf of the USCCA. He just came by to share his personal opinions and insights from the information he has on the matter.
If you carry everyday, you don't want to miss this one!
So pull up a chair and sit a spell as we discuss What's Going On with the USCCA?
